Ansoft and Maxwell Technologies Release Supercapacitor Model Library.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2002 New library enables next-generation power-system development for industrial, automotive, and aerospace industries Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) and Maxwell Technologies Maxwell Technologies is a developer and manufacturer of energy storage and power delivery-related products. History The company was founded in 1965 as Maxwell Laboratories, originally as a government contractor, providing advanced physics, pulsed power, space effects Inc. (Nasdaq:MXWL) today announced the release of a model library containing Maxwell Technologies' ultracapacitor products for use within Ansoft's SIMPLORER(R). Ultracapacitors are ultra-high capacity energy-storage devices that deliver bursts of high power and recharge re·charge tr.v. re·charged, re·charg·ing, re·charg·es To charge again, especially to reenergize a storage battery. re rapidly. The technology is receiving a great deal of attention as an excellent supplement to batteries and fuel cells, especially for short-term energy storage and pulses of power. Used to produce cleaner and more fuel-efficient hybrid-electric/internal-combustion buses, trucks, and automobiles, ultracapacitor technology is ideal for powering initial acceleration, operating electrical subsystems, and regenerative re·gen·er·a·tive adj. 1. Of, relating to, or marked by regeneration. 2. Tending to regenerate. re·gen braking. "Providing an ultracapacitor model library for SIMPLORER will help our current and future customers evaluate the performance of the technology in a virtual test environment," said Richard Smith Richard Smith is the name of:
The ultracapacitor library is available for download from SIMPLORER's model database (http://model.simplorer.com). Users can search for a capacitor capacitor or condenser, device for the storage of electric charge. Simple capacitors consist of two plates made of an electrically conducting material (e.g., a metal) and separated by a nonconducting material or dielectric (e.g. by name, performance data, or other specification, and easily integrate the component in its local model library. The download also includes the datasheet of the component. About Maxwell Technologies Maxwell sells reliability. The company develops, manufactures, and markets electronic components and systems that perform reliably for the life of any application. Maxwell's power product lines are comprised of ultracapacitors, high-voltage capacitors, and custom power and energy-storage systems. Their power products address applications in transportation, telecommunications, consumer and industrial electronics, electric utility infrastructure, and medical imaging. Maxwell's microelectronic products, which primarily address applications in aerospace, are comprised of radiation-shielded power modules, memory modules, single board computers, and automated accelerated life testers for microelectronics. Maxwell also makes winding equipment used to manufacture capacitors and batteries. To learn more, visit www.maxwell.com.
